"The crux of what this study is all about is that we define a new pathway where the brain talks to fat."

And I'll start with the topic that we'll be covering next week on Monday This is a brain.
我以我们下周一要讨论的主题,作为开始,这是一个大脑
you can see that the subcortical here, so this is a brain that was cut away here, here, and here was a chunk taking out, you can see deep into this area you can also see that's what happening in the cortex.
你可以看看这块皮质下层,大脑在这块,这块,还有这块被分隔开了,这一大块,你可以看得很深,你能看见在皮质层里发生了什么事情。
This is an example of a rudimentary brain machine interface.
这是一个脑机接口界面的示范
And what a case like this, where somebody is in a coma, is without consciousness as a result of damage to the brain, is a stark illustration of the physical nature of mental life.
想象一下这样的情况,某人正陷于昏迷之中,由于脑部损伤而失去了意识,这是心理活动的生理属性毫无修饰的图解
Now these parts of the world are shrinking in the number; but let's say you lived in Ethiopia or Somalia, or places where food really is scarce way too much of the time, then having this particular biological drive, having a brain that wants you to seek out these foods would be highly adaptive.
现在这些地区的数量正在减少,但如果你生活在埃塞俄比亚或是索马里,或是当前食品十分短缺的地区,那么拥有这种生物驱动力,拥有不断驱使你去寻找食物的大脑,会让你有极强的适应能力
So if this is really Shelly Kagan's brain over here, then this isn't a problem for the body view.
如果这边的真是Shelly,Kagan的大脑,那么肉体理论是没什么问题的。
What happens is a negative symptoms are alleviated, and we start to resurrect the signal in this part of the brain.
结果阴性症状得到了缓解,而大脑中这一部分区域的信号,也开始得到恢复。
We talked about modern imaging methods and this is an example of an fMRI, a functional MRI; a map of the brain that not only shows you the anatomy of the brain but shows you something about the chemistry of what's going on inside.
我们还说到现代影像技术,这里是一幅脑部功能性磁共振成像图像,一种功能性的磁共振,图中不仅可以看到脑部解剖学图像,也可以看到一些脑内的生化过程
So this cell, wherever it's setting, wherever it is positioned within the nervous system let's say in the cortex somewhere or the outside surface of the brain is able to communicate with a region of the brain that's in this direction, a region in this direction, a region in this direction, a region in this direction.
所以这个细胞 无论它在何处,无论它在神经系统中安身何处,就比方说它位于大脑皮层上吧,即位于大脑外表面上的某处,它可以同,这一方向上的脑域进行交流,也可以是这个方向,也可以是这个方向,也可以是这个方向
The simplest way to express this proposal in a block diagram is that we take sense of this information into the brain.
要以图表的形式解释这种方案最简单的方法,即将这一信息传给大脑。
And this is a picture of the brain.
这是大脑的一张图片。
